The first year with a baby is full of growth, questions, and special moments. Our Baby & Me ECFE class is for babies and their caregivers to connect, play, and learn together. Each week, you and your baby will enjoy songs, simple play activities, and opportunities to explore together. Caregivers will also have time to connect with other parents and talk about the joys and challenges of life with a baby. A parent educator guides conversations and shares research-based insights on topics like development, sleep, feeding, and building strong relationships with your baby and the community. While our child educator leads circle time, with music and connections with your child. The class runs all year, but we invite you to sign up for this Baby & Me class at any time! For your convenience, you can sign up by trimester or for the full year.
